For those of you who want a Touch CWM recovery on your phone I have converted the image file into an Odin flash capable .tar file. If anyone would like me to do the same for the other carriers I will do so, but please keep in mind I am unable to test those recoveries.
This is version 5.8.4.5 of the CWM Touch recovery. Backup/restore is confirmed working
This is for the T-MOBILE variant only and will most likely up your custom recovery flash counter. You have been warned.
Oh, and I am not responsible if you choose to DL this and brick your phone or otherwise, I tested on my phone and it flashed just fine.
Thanks Moonfire711 for this information:
Download the tmo touch recovery .img from the Clockworksmod site, or DL the version provided and un'zip' it to your computer. I don't know if these instructions will work for anything other than the tmo version at this point.
to install:
1. Rename the file to cwmtr.img to make this easier.
2. Place cwmtr.img in your root sdcard using step 3., or use your usb cable or some wifi explorer.
3. adb push cwmtr.img /sdcard/cwmtr.img * (skip this step if the file is already on your sdcard).
4. adb shell *If not using adb, and you want to use terminal emulator, start at step 5. with the file already on your sdcard.
5. su
6. dd if=/sdcard/cwmtr.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
7. reboot recovery
I did NOT make this recovery or alter it in any way, I do NOT take credit for this recovery, it's CWM 100%
downloading now thanks

Thankyou! So all we do is download this tar and use pda in Odin to flash correct? And will rom manager recognize this recovery? (I didn't want to buy it on rom manager)
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Flash through Odin yes, I just checked and Rom Manager tells me "There are no Touch recoveries available for your Device". Although I have flashed the Insecure Kernel so you may want to make sure you have STOCK kernel if you want Rom Manager to recognize your device. Otherwise it works as it should in recovery mode.
I tried a version earlier and it did not support external sdcard.
Don't know if this one is any different, but I doubt it.
This is probably the same version, No Ext SD Card support on it. I'll update the main post to show that, thanks for thinking about that. Though personally I'm willing to sacrifice that for a touch recovery, others may not.
EDIT: Looks like there are two options, SD Card and Internal SD Card. This has Ext SD Card support. Works on my phone with the Insecure Kernel.
So ext and int sd card both working? And we flash Odin pda check auto reboot?

OP, feel free to add these instructions to the OP for anyone that doesn't want to use Odin for any reason, and still wants to get this for free without using Rom Manager Premium.

That's it.
Hope this helps someone out.

Or you can download the .tar from the OP and do as follows:
1. Open ODIN
2. Reboot into Download mode (Vol. Down+Home+Power)
3. Plug your phone and ensure ODIN recognizes it in the box (com#)
4. Click PDA and add the recovery.tar file
5. Make sure it says "Pass" then unplug your phone and exit from ODIN.
Your phone will reboot and you should now have the touch recovery.
Yes ext backup is working, use the first option that just say "backup." I will assume the "restore" is for ext sd as well.
Man backing up takes unsually longer than the non-touch cwm. Also anyone know how to adjust the date and time of the folder it creates when you make a backup??
I know wrong thread, but same subject!, anyone try TWRP yet?

I hope your intent was to have what you typed put in the OP. If it was to negate what I wrote in any way, then the point was to offer a way that will not jump your flash counter (in case anyone cares), and to offer a way that doesn't require using Odin. Hell, I didn't even need a pc.

I put it on my phone for about one night, but didn't play with it much. I did make a backup and it seemed to work fine. It was just a little foreign to me, so I decided to stick with the touch version of cwm for now.

In my opinion, and this is only MY OPINION, TWRP is loads better. No offense to the great work CWM developer(s) does but I really dislike CWM. I've always used TWRP be it N1, Galaxy Nexus, Kindle Fire and now S3. The only time I strayed was 4EXT Touch (by Maxx) for N1, but there's no release for S3
I think 4ext is hands down number 1, I used trwp on my Kindle also its great but cwm does the job lol

Yeah, I posted in the N1 forum asking Max to bring 4EXT to SGS3 but he never responded. I may shoot him a PM and ask him.
That's exactly how I feel, CWM does the job lol. I much prefer TWRP though.

hi all....total Android noob here...
after a lot of research and some 'should i or shouldn't i' episodes, i've successfully rooted my wonder in order to flash to cm9. along the way i've discovered that it is 'desirable' to have cwm 6 installed first.
from what i understand, there are 2(?) ways of doing this...either via stock recovery in the ADB(?) shell or via ODIN...
ODIN *seems* to be the preferred method though. but here lies my problem.....i can't get it to work...i've found several links to download odin, and several links to download cwm 6.....also several different sets of instructions as to how to actually do it.....
it would really help if i had one set of downloads for odin and cwm 6 and one set of step by step, clear, precise, tried and tested instructions....
i've also tried nandroid backup as a 'partial' alternative to cwm 6, but it's not compatible with my phone.
additional info (if needed).....
os version - gingerbread 2.3.5
carrier - 3UK

Here is the way to flash CWM6 using Odin, if you wanna flash CWM5 just use the md5&ops files for CWM5, which you may need to find them somewhere
1. Download Odin & Ancora.ops & recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.2-ancora.tar.md5
2. Enable USB Debugging in Setting-Application- Development
3. Open Odin.
- Select the ops file, and enable one package in options
- then load the md5(recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.2-ancora.tar.md5) file with the One Package button.
- put ur phone it into download mode, first turn off phone, then hold Volume Down + Home + Power Button for a while.
- Phone will turn on and show some screen, then you plug in usb cable (it may look for the driver through Windows Update so please enable your computer's Internet connection).
Get the files (please find Odin from somewhere else): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446593
Good luck and sorry for my bad English~

did you forget to add -enable the "USB Debugging" on Setting-?
if you're gonna flashing stock rom with ODIN, you're not gonna need USB Debugging setting..
but if recovery, you need it..

Hi,
how can I know if CWM6 is compatible with my kernel?
Thanks a lot.
Model code: GT-I8150
Android version: 2.3.6
Version base band: I8150XXKL3
Kernel version: [email protected] #3
Build version: GINGERBREAD.XXLA2
as far as I know, recovery has it's own kernel..
Hi all...installed CM9 last night...all went well....
Have noticed that there's no Task Manager or Media Player Apps....is it just that I'm looking right at them and not recognizing them for what they are, or are they not included in the build?....if they're not included, which 3rd party apps would you recommend for use instead?.....
Also, for information, I had ONE minor glitch occurrence when using the camera.....as follows...
Started camera app..
Changed from primary to secondary (self portrait) camera...
Changed the exposure setting to +2....
App force closed.....
Apart from that, no other issues to report.....
A big thanks to everybody involved for taking the Galaxy W and producing such a fantastic alternative to 'stock'.....
PS......will cm10 be ported to the W?....lol...(got the Modding bug now . )
Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda app-developers app
Hi again....can confirm that the force close camera issue (as described above), is a continuing problem on all increments of exposure compensation setting. With that in mind, is there a 3rd party camera app available that has the same functionality as the installed app but without the gimmicks?......
As mentioned before, CM9 really is a welcome step up from the 'stock' OS, so if the camera issue is the only issue with CM9, it's still worth 'taking that leap'.....
Once again, many thanks for the work put in on this....Keith
Sent from my GT-I8150 with CM9 using xda app-developers app
better you post that on "CyanogenMod 9 bug report & discussion thread" by THE-E.. so then the bug will added to the list

Moving CWM6 backups to PC
Hi guys, I have a question here. How can I move my backups I created using CWM6 to a PC so I can free up my internal sd space? I don't think those folders on clockworkmod\backup are full backups because the blob folder is much larger.
I'm using Samsung Galaxy W I8150, CWM 6.0.1.2, CM9 Alpha7.

just copy or cut the "clockworkmod" folder, to prevent file corrupt, rar or zip it.. if want to restore, copy or cut back to your SD..

have already and safe.. BUT:
-make sure your USB Cable is still in good condition.. if you are not sure, DO NOT MOVE CABLE WHILE COPYING FILES..
-you had fast enough PC.. DO NOT COPY FILES WHILE LAGGING
-NO VIRUS ON YOUR PC..
-make sure NO SOFTWARE BLOCKING YOUR PHONE DRIVER..
-if you backup to external sd, BETTER USE CARD READER TO COPY THOSE FILES TO PC
-IF ZIPPING OR RARING FILES, DP NOT COMPRESS LIKE CRAZY (COMPRESS NORMAL OR JUST STORE -without compression-)
-always reject/unmount removeable drive TO PREVENT CORRUPT FILES ON YOUR SD, USB, OR ETC..
safe backup

dude...your clip image in your sig is f*cking hilarious! I crack up whenever I see it.....
The sh*t people come up with.... :laugh:
So can someone give some background on this update? I did a backup to my extSD card and it doesnt backup the applications. I also see a 'blobs' folder when I look at the backup folder in root explorer.
Whats the difference between .dup and .tar in the advance backup options. Any info would be appreciated.... thanks!
So after doing some digging around, I found out a bunch about this new version of CWMR/CWMTR.
First,
You may notice a 'blobs' folder when you do a backup. Don't panic, this is now part of the backup process.
Second,
You may find that your backups are completed reasonably faster after the initial backup and your backup folder for that particular backup is also significantly smaller as in under 100mb smaller when it used to be close or even over 1gig.
Touch Recovery does not make a "full backup" anymore. It only backs up what has changed since a previous backup, and keeps track of the changes in a clockworkmod/backup/blobs folder. This is pretty cool because its designed to save on space and speed up the backup process. So if you look at your 'blobs' folder, its size is going to be HUGE. Thats where all the files that once made up your HUGE zip backup are located.
Hopefully you guys find this info a little more helpful....because I had a ton of questions after seeing how this new version created backups, etc.

ooooo, you don't want to do that. The Odin flash-able image is ONLY flash-able through Odin. If you want, you can extract the recovery.img file from within it, and use THAT file to flash via Terminal.
You can ONLY flash a *.img file the Terminal way.
You can flash custom recovery three ways:
*.img flash-able via Terminal
*.tar, *.md5 flash-able via Odin
*.zip flash-able from within custom recovery
Good luck!

Guys please don't repost it as your own work, otherwise I'll report it and you will get banned from XDA.
NOTE: If you have previously used the old EXE to install TWRP then please remove the old folders by using these instructions using cmd before using updated exe to install TWRP;
1.
Code:
adb shell
2.
Code:
su
3.
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock11 /system
4.
Code:
rm -R /system/bootmenu
Then use the updated exe to install TWRP.
NOTE: If you don't like TWRP, you can download Guitwo2's Permanent CWM at http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1875373&d=1365682716

2nd-init does NOT work in CWM Recovery
Thanks to @Guitwo2 for CWM Recovery.
Instructions on how to install Permanent CWM Recovery:
1. Make sure stericson-busybox is installed
2. Put XT320_bootmenuV2.zip in the root of your sdcard
3. Reboot into fastboot mode by typing this command in cmd:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
4. Then type this command in cmd:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
5. Then use volume keys to navigate and power button to select option. Select install zip from sdcard, then select XT320_bootmenuV2.zip and select yes to install the zip file
6. Then reboot device by selecting reboot device now.
CWM 6 has a bug where it asks you to 'disable recovery flash' when you select reboot system now make sure you select NO or you will soft brick your device.
Changelog:
-v2 No need to mount /sdcard in CWM Recovery. Fixed TWRP installation issues.
-v2.0.1 Released an .exe version of script, to simplify installation
-v2.0.1.1 Fixed bootmenu.zip
This can install a custom recovery?

Thank you
The root process worked for me. Now i can install link2sd and set up a swap partition.
I cant install TWRP and i think the reason is that the bat was having some problem to send that bootmenu.tar file to my sd card. I tried to send that file myself before starting the entire process and it didnt worked.
I took a picture of the error i'm getting . Thank you again, i was really mad about that low internal space xD
same problem... someone can fix it? please

Ok, I've made a fixed script here. The error was that the sdcard is a directory so it will refuse to push files into it.
Here's the updated script below. Just put the .bat file in the same place as the other files.
Thanks

Ty for the quickly answer.
Btw, my gsm network wasnt working after the root process. If the same thing happens to someone else, just do a master reset and it will work again.
pull command is working now
That sdcard copy part is working now. The TWRP process is still not working for me. I tried to do myself the commands using the adb interface and when i use the command to intall the tar, i got the message 'tar: no space left on device" . I hope you can help me with that and i'm sorry about all this questions xD .

You must have more than 5MB free in your /system partition. Please move your apps to the /flex partition or delete the useless apps in /system.

Yes but it sometimes gets unstable so you should overclock to 700MHz which is the highest I got without reboots. pll2_l_val=73 gives you 700MHz.

It worked for others but in your situation the only thing I can advise is to do a data wipe and relfash SBF file. Just go to Guitwo2's there to install permanent CWM.

Hi, it's me again... i have a new trouble
i installed the xt320_bootmenu.zip (from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2229233) the first time that i rebooted works fine, but the on the second reboot it doesn't work, then i went to data to check if test.log was there and here's the problem... no test.log...
init.d was working fine until that i did it, i guess that my phone have troubles making work init.d
some solution for this annoying guy? thanks in advance!

You can backup and restore with this rec.
This recovery will not do anything, but I had cwm installed and flashed over it so many thats why? Ill try a clean install.

Hi Bugly Astard,
I can not say, i loved recovery. But i can say, its working without an error.
I tried all features like flash-wipe-reboot. Everything is okay.
If you use cwm, then dont waste your time about trying to use install script.
In MIUI recovery zip file, you will see recovery.tar
Copy it /system/bin - Overwrite
And done.
I did get it working, but not impressed. It doesn't see the external sd, and its glitchy. Thanks for this anyway, it's something new to try.
